Olive Oil.

Olive oil is got from the ripe
fruit, and the ripper the better, even
to the verge of decay, said an i'm
porter of the article to New York
Tribune representative. After the
fruit has been gathered it is placed
In large sacks, and then subjected
to heavy pressure. The percent
age of oil is large, varying accord
ing to the species of the fruit, and
usually runs from 40 to so per cent
The odor is pungent when first
pressed, but this tones down in a
short time, and when the oil is
ready to be put up into packages
it is agreeable. The best oil comes
from the first pressing. The refuse
is also made to produce several
lower grades by subjecting it to
repeated pressures. The finest
grade is expensive and the market
for it is limited. Those who use
the cheaper oil are satisfied with
it, because they do not know there
is any better. Just let a person
get taste of the first grade and
he will rave that forever after or
none. Germans have-a great fond
ness for oil, and the trade is prin-
cipally among them.
| never could understand why
the olive tree is not cultivated more
in the South. The climate and
soil in many places are suitable for
its growth. It requires little care,
bears in few years, is hardy, and
it is said that it never dies. 1t is
said that there are olive trees, old,
bent and scraggy, but fruit-bearing,
near Jerusalem, which were there
in the Saviour's time. There is no
doubt about their living to great
age, and it ought to pay to raise
them. But perhaps the South is
satisfied. It furnishes the cotton
seed which is used as an imitation
of the olive or to adulterate it. 1t
is rank substitute and has not
the slightest flavor of the olive. It
has large sale, and grocers un-
blushingly sell the Shiny stuff as
olive oil. It may be that it is done
ignorantly, but / have a strong
suspicion that there is more money
in it than in olives. 1t is more fit
for lamps and machinery than for
the human stomach, though its
effect is harmless.

CONFOUNDlNC POSITIONS.

The writer of the communicated"
article in the "Daily Gazette"
touching measures and men," con-
POUNDS Members of Parliament with
Government Employees, just as
many people who come to our Office
daily to talk politics, cannot see that
the position of a Cabinet Minister is
political while that of his subordinate
is non-political. To person fami-
liar with the British method, or with
the methods of some other countries,
the matter is perfectly clear. There
is no discrepancy whatever in the
position assumed by this paper re-
lative to the questions alluded to by
communicated" There are no
"spoils," so far as we know, for
members of the legislature, unless
$3.50 for three or four months work
may be considered "spoils." The
"spoils," in this country, are sought
in lucrative Government positions,
and all such positions are, or should
be, non-political. The Legislature is
a political body, and its members
are elected by the popular vote, to
advocate and support the measures
espoused by the voters. Intelligent
constituencies will never elect men
whom they believe to be incapable
of serving their purpose or unwilling
to stand by their measures. The
public measures regulating any free
country are established and made
operative by the people, through
their representatives in council as
sembled. Government employees
have simply to discharge the duties
of their Office as directed by their
political heads, or in other words,
the Cabinet Ministers. Another
phase of the subject is this: A
national policy is shaped and main
tanned by majority of the Legisla-
ture, headed by the Ministers. The
subordinates of Government have
nothing to do with it. The Under
Secretaries in the British system are
never disturbed by change of
Ministry. Whether a Liberal or a
Conservative Government is in
power, it makes no difference to the
subordinates. Where is the incon-
sistency of opposing the appoint
ment to Government office Of any
loud-mouthed political trickster, and
at the same time advocating the
election to the Legislature of men
whose measures are sound, and
who possess the principle and ability
to stand honorably and determinedly
by those measures?

A VOICE FROM THE 2ND WARD.

EDITOR DULLETIN:-Having at
tended the End Ward meeting last
night, in the course of the remarks
made by one of the Central Com
mittee, | was somewhat surprised at
the statement made, that although
the various Ward clubs had the
power to elect delegates to the
nominating convention still the
clubs were not entitled to make any
nominations either for representa-
tives or mobiles, but that their dele
gates will have a number of names
submitted to them from the Central
Committee, which they, the dele
gates, had to accept as sufficient.
Now as the Central Committee are
no doubt pretty good wire pullers,
l have no doubt their ticket may
not include perhaps the very best
men suitable for either representa-
tives or mobiles. | submit that the
Ward clubs have been deceived to
certain extent by the Central Com
mittee. | don't think that a man
whose political training was in the
Wild West, whose right to partake
in the business was his ability either
to take a drink or make a speech, is
fit person to select candidate for
representative or noble on my ticket,
and think that in justice to all the
Ward clubs, they should have been
informed long ago. / as member
of Ward No. 2, understood all along,
that the nominations would take
place in each Ward club, and that
the delegates from the clubs would
be instructed by their clubs TO nomi-
nate and support said nominees, and
should they not be strong enough to
pull the votes, then to support the
next best men. That / have no
doubt would have given satisfaction
to oil, but as the programme as par
TALLY exposed, |, as a member of
Ward No. 2, don't like the idea to
swallow such pill. What / ex-
pected was that every nominee
would have been publicly announ-
ced, as they were nominated; but
it appears that the list is already
made up, and only waiting to SUBJ
nit to the convention when con-
vened. This may be considered as
right by those who are interested in
certain direction, but what the
electors want are men competent
and honest, not necessarily speech
makers, but men who can think and
act, and are not always making a
noise. If the election is to be car
ried by the reform party, the cleo
tors are not to be stinted in their
rights, but be treated in a more
liberal manner than is apparently

Though the grass may be cut

DR.. Turner, of the Museum of
Hygiene of the United States, sug-
gests that a uniform "face" of type,
as antique, be adopted for school
books, and that inks of a neutral
tint, instead of the ordinary black
printing-ink, be used in printing
these books. The painful evidence
of strain upon the nervous appara-
tus of vision, commonly known as
"tired eyes" is relieved by letters
printed on tinted paper, or by color
ed inks on white or colored paper.
OF course glazing colors are to be
avoided.
